The modern decor blends vintage elements with chic design. The Chef's Bar, next to the open kitchen, is the place to be if you want to watch the enthusiastic Mark Gratama at work. Each dish is a creative masterpiece, playfully combining a delightful variety of textures. His unique ingredients combinations demonstrated his willingness to experiment and push culinary boundaries. For example, he incorporates a hint of seaweed into a blueberry-based dessert and a sixty verjus sorbet. With metric precision, he units the disparate flavors of seared Norway lobster and hearty beef sauce into a perfectly balanced dish. The finishing touch of an exquisite sauce or broth, frequently drawing on Asian influences, providers extra punch. It is inspired to watch this consumer professional constantly evolved his craft.
